    Dead Battery - Stock Radio to Blame?

    Went on vacation last week for five days, came back and the car (05 mustang GT) was dead. Deader than dead. So yesterday, I tried to jump it for about 30 minutes, no luck. Ended up just push starting the damn thing. It ran like crap for 10 minutes, then everything powered up, and I let it run...

    Questions About 18" Foose Nitrous/Legend Rims

    Look What I Ran Into...

    Went to the gas station this morning to fill up, and while I was messing with the pump I heard a loud grumble that I thought was a motorcycle at first. Imagine my surprise when I turned around to see... A 1967 Shelby Cobra 427. Man that thing was awesome, and it had such a nice...

    Your Thoughts on This Look

    I was planning on adding a hood and some racing stripes in the near future, and wanted to get some feedback from you guys on how you think this would look. Currently, I have a 2005 Mustang GT, performance white. It came with black vinyl racing stripes that I removed, because I thought they...

    E-Brake Rattle, How to Adjust?

    Ok, my battle against the emergency brake continues. I have an MGW short throw shifter installed, and thought that maybe I didn't put Dynamat in the right places to stop a rattle that some people have after installing the shifter...but I am convinced this is no longer the problem. After...

    Is My JLT CAI Broken?

    Check the picture...it's not my car, just found that pic online. I'm too lazy to go out there and take a photo. Anyway, I've circled the part in question. Where that silver piece meets the color-matched tube, I can actually spin it right there, and even remove it completely. I'm positive it...

    Tire Pressure at the Track

    Gonna hit the 1/8 mile track for the first time tonight, and I just wanted to get some ideas of what you guys are running for tire pressure. I've heard a lot of different PSI's. I'm running the stock Pirelli's up front, and 255/50/17 Kumho Ecstas in the rear.

    Help With E-Brake Rattle (MGW Shifter)

    I installed the MGW short throw shifter, and as recommended did the dynamat fix to the e-brake...but it didn't help. I am getting some awful rattle when I accelerate. I even took the console apart again, and added more dynamat, but it didn't seem to help. Well, at least I think it's the e-brake...

    Question About Tuner/Intake combo

    I purchased a JLT/tuner combo from Bamachips, and gave him my info...today, I got the tuner, but no intake. I already have a C&L intake on the car. My question is will the tune run pretty much the same with the C&L on there even though I told Bamachips that a JLT intake would be on there?

    MGW Owners: Adjustment Question

    Just got my MGW shifter in the mail today, and I plan on installing it this weekend. I watched the installation video, and it said you can adjust that screw up to 12 turns to adjust the length of your throw. I was just curious what the current owners have the turns set at, and how it's working...

    Looking to do some fluid maintenance

    As some probably already know, I bought an 05 Mustang GT about a month ago. It had about 32,000 miles on it. Since I don't know how the previous owner treated the car, my first order of business has been to run through all of the fluids. So far, I've replaced the fuel filter, and had the oil...

    So...I'm currently in the process of removing the black vinyl racing stripe on my car, and the stripes at the bottom of the doors. I'm having a pretty easy time removing the stripes using a hair dryer, but my problem comes in at trying to remove the sticky stuff underneath the sticker. I've...

    Fuel Cap Dilemna

    I recently purchased a used 2005 Mustang GT, and had a question about the fuel cap. While sitting at a drive-thru looking to get some food a few days ago, my dashboard computer came up with the message to check my fuel cap. I got out and did so, and the locking gas cap on there looked good. The...
